Re: Access to 2009 H1N1 Flu information

["Beth Rosner" <brosner@aaas.org>]

Shirley:  This was most certainly an oversight on our part as it 
was our intention to have made this article freely available- as 
we do with articles that have large public health implications. 
The article has now been made free.

While I note with interest the journals whose publishers have 
taken the decision to open up access to information about H1N1 
flu resources, it seems lamentable that Science, such an 
infuential publication, does not even permit timely institutional 
suscription access to those resources from the Science Express 
section. Articles such as Pandemic Potential of a Strain of 
Influenza A (H1N1) : Early Findings, a collaboration between 
Mexican, British and WHO researchers, are out of reach of 
academics.

Pity.
